Toolkit to Combat Trafficking in Persons

United Nations, “Toolkit to Combat Trafficking in Persons”
United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime | 2008 | ISBN: 9211337895 | 562 pages | PDF | 1,7 MB

At the third session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention
against Transnational Organized Crime and its Protocols (Vienna, 9-18 October 2006), various
requests were made of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) as
the secretariat of the Conference of the Parties. Among them was to develop guidelines and
collect and disseminate of successful practice with respect to:
Victim identification
Investigation of offences
Victim assistance and repatriation
Training and capacity-building
Awareness-raising strategies and campaigns
While this Toolkit is not offered in direct fulfilment of those requests, it has been drafted
with the Office’s strong commitment to comply with them in mind. The present edition
updates and expands the version of the Toolkit published in 2006 (United Nations publication,
Sales No. E.06.V.11).
As the international cooperation which is crucial to successfully prevent trafficking, prosecute
the culprits and protect and assist its victims gains global momentum, UNODC is honoured
to present examples of promising practice from around the world relating to trafficking
interventions. The promising practice and recommended resources included in this
Toolkit by no means comprise an exhaustive collection of successful, creative and innovative
responses to trafficking. Nor are they necessarily in absolute accordance with the antitrafficking
policies of UNODC. However, in the light of the urgent need for cooperative
and collaborative action against trafficking, examples have been included with the intention
both of commending such initiatives and of demonstrating the range of resources available
to assist users in undertaking the anti-trafficking efforts which may feature in the next edition
of this Toolkit.
The fact that trafficking in persons occurs today is a horrifying reality. The fact that there
is more we could be doing collectively to combat it should be a global call to arms. It is
hoped that the guidance offered, the practice showcased and the resources recommended
in this Toolkit may inspire and assist policymakers, law enforcers, judges, prosecutors,
victim service providers and members of civil society in playing their role in the global effort
against trafficking in persons.
Aims and purpose of the Toolkit
The overarching goals of this Toolkit are those of the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and
Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United
Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime,1 which w
To prevent and combat trafficking
To protect and assist its victims
To promote international cooperation
In pursuit of these goals, the Toolkit seeks to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and
information among policymakers, law enforcers, judges, prosecutors, victim service providers
and members of civil society who are working at different levels towards these same
objectives.
